Free Days

The National Park Service often charges entrance fees to its national parks. However, there are several days throughout the year where it's absolutely, completely free!

According to the National Park Service website, these are the freebies:

January 19th
Martin Luther King Jr. Day

February 14-16
Presidents Day weekend

April 18-19
Opening weekend of National Park Week

August 25
National Park Service birthday

September 26
National Public Lands Day

November 11
Veterans Day

So if you've been angling to go to a U.S. national park (and they're all amazing in their own ways), take advantage of the free days...before our national parks are gone.

  1. I didn't know those were free days. Looks like I have some National Park trips to plan.

    Good luck with the 2015 A to Z Challenge!

  3. They have something similar with museums in Los Angeles and I think in other cities as well. If you time things right at the parks or museums you can save money, but sometimes timing isn't that easy.
